PPP: TUTORIAL 01

Today we had PPP tutorials in groups to discuss what to expect on the module and things to consider. Below are some notes I took from the session with John.

  • Take your mind out of graphic design when yo get creative block
  • Don't take life to seriously 
  • The industry has changed loads, people don't communicate as much anymore.
  • Let your personality come through, not only in your work but also in the industry
  • Put the kind of work in your portfolio that you want to see or like to do, you will more passionate about it when you talk about it.
  • Look on the notice board — advice for creatives
  • Get the ideas right before you start anything
  • Talk to as many people as you can. They can inform your design!
  • Do more than your asked
  • Theres a lack of personalities in the industry make sure your one of them
  • Don't look at the websites, look at the blogs they are more informative on what the blog is about.
  • Contact them on social media, by hand or in person ect.
  • Plan on your next step
  • Ask the right people, connect with them.
  • The advice is there, doesn't mean you have to take it
  • What can I do to challenge myself?
  • Consider Skype and international calls to agencies.

I found todays session really useful in considering what to expect in the industry, I definitely feel that personality is something really important as well as a good body of work because you have to be able to communicate well with people and make connections which is something I believe I'm really good.
